Selecting the perfect natural cushion square sapphire requires a keen eye and an understanding of the 4Cs: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight. At CEYLONS, we ensure every stone meets the highest standards. Here’s how to evaluate each factor: 

1. Color

• • Rich Saturation: The most valuable cushion square sapphires exhibit deep, even color distribution, captivating the eye.
  • Hue Variety: While classic blue is paramount, our collection includes highly sought-after shades like vivid pink, golden yellow, and pure white.
  • Brightness: A vibrant, vivid color with excellent brilliance significantly enhances the gemstone’s visual appeal and overall value. 

2. Clarity

• • Natural Inclusions: Almost all natural sapphires contain minor inclusions, a testament to their authentic origin. The fewer and less visible these inclusions, the higher the stone’s value and transparency.
  • Transparency: Clean stones with minimal eye-visible inclusions command higher prices, allowing maximum light passage for superior sparkle. 

3. Cut

• • Symmetry and Proportion: Expert cutting ensures proper facet alignment, maximizing the sapphire’s fire, brilliance, and light reflection.
  • Depth Percentage: An ideal depth percentage ensures the gemstone doesn’t appear shallow, dark, or dull, optimizing its inherent beauty.
  • Facet Precision: Skilled cutting is crucial for bringing out the sapphire’s inherent brilliance and creating the signature “pillow” effect of a true cushion square. 

4. Carat Weight

• • Weight Retention: The cushion square cut is known for retaining more of the rough stone’s weight, allowing for substantial carat sizes that make a dramatic visual impact.
  • Visual Impact: Larger, well-cut stones create a more luxurious and commanding presence, making them ideal for statement pieces. 

To maintain accuracy and value, all CEYLONS’ natural cushion square sapphires come with certification verifying their authenticity, ethical origin, and precise grading.

One important consideration when choosing cushion square sapphires is whether the gemstone has undergone heat treatment. CEYLONS offers transparent information on every stone. 

Understanding Heat Treatment

• Purpose: Heat treatment is a common, stable process used to enhance the color intensity and clarity of many sapphires found in the market.
• Process: The gemstone is exposed to high temperatures, often mimicking natural geological conditions, to improve its appearance.
• Prevalence: The majority of sapphires available globally have undergone some form of heat treatment. 

Untreated Sapphires: A Rare & Coveted Gem

• Natural Beauty: Untreated sapphires are preserved in their original, unenhanced state, showcasing their inherent beauty as Mother Nature intended.
• Higher Value: Due to their exceptional rarity and untouched authenticity, untreated natural cushion square sapphires are considerably more valuable and sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. 

Certification Matters:

To guarantee quality, origin, and treatment status, always look for certified gemstones that explicitly specify whether the sapphire has undergone heat treatment. CEYLONS provides comprehensive certification for all our stones, ensuring complete transparency.
